Yeah, if they were French they would have cost 6 and 10 million. I hate the stupid English tax, but at least it wasn't Milner and Lescott prices. Another thing, it looks like a few of our younger players are going to Blackpool on loan, which probably lowered Adam's price.
He'll probably play some variation 4-3-3 with a lot of movement and interchanging of roles between players. Henderson and Meireles are pretty versatile. Also I think he realizes that Gerrard isn't going to make it through a season without injury unless he can be rested.
With everyone fit, who will make way, Meireles or Henderson?
On the one hand you have Meireles who imo was your best player last season, on the other you have Henderson whom you bought for a sum of money that does not indicate that he was bought as a squad player. Surely not Gerrard?
I don't think that highly of him either if his price tag is our frame of reference here. But he's certainly a better player than Adam, even though i like the latter's style as a deeplying playmaker more, but Henderson is a decent all action midfielder. He's a decent player imo.
